Default Need help choosing shocks for my ITR

I am ready to upgrade my shocks. I cant decide between: Tokico Illumina, Koni Yellows or Bilstein Sports. Ride comfort is not really an issue for me. I am basically looking for the most agrresive shock possible. The car will be used 60% on the street and about 40% on the track.

I am also open to any suggestions and or opinions any one might have.

Thanks in advamce

I would go with a tokico illumina's they offer the best of both worlds. Have been using for about a year no regrets.

Koni Yellows are the way to go.

The Illuminas are not at the level of OE ITR's and they leak all the time.
The Konis OTS are marginally better than OE but can be upgraded later in their life.
I have mated Koni revalves with OE springs and I have the best of both worlds...at minimum they act like OE and well adjusted they kick *** in Solo and rival most coilover set ups that guys can't dial in for every track......

I had the Bilsteins on my first R and they are a little stiffer. Not to mention a harsher ride, which is a good thing to me. Anyhow, I was pleased with them and the overall performance to price wasn't too bad.

See if you can find a set of adjustable GAB dampers. I had them before my current set-up - they were fabulous.
